Background and Contemporary Context for
\nYouth Criminalization<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

The process of youth criminalization is
\nguided by several contradictions in how youth are viewed and treated in contemporary
\nsociety. Youth are represented in the media as both \u201cat risk\u201d and increasingly
\nviolent, despite evidence of a reduction in violent crime. These contradictions
\nare reflected in a bifurcated justice system for youth in western societies,
\nwhich emphasizes diversion for first time offenders and those who commit less
\nserious offenses, and an increasingly punitive approach that emphasizes
\naccountability for youth who commit more serious offenses and youth who
\nre-offend. Root causes are often absent from contemporary understanding of (and
\nrelated theory about) the process of youth criminalization. Further, age-based
\nprejudice and discrimination intersects with multiple other bases of inequality
\nin the construction of youth and their corresponding treatment in the juvenile
\njustice system.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/span><\/p>\n

Critical analyses of youth justice reveal
\nthe ongoing influence of political, economic, and social forces in the
\nperpetuation of youth criminalization. Reforms to the juvenile justice system are
\nusually reactive and have unintended effects on youth, but overwhelmingly no
\neffect on youth crime, because they do not address the underlying social
\ninequalities. Youth criminalization increasingly takes place through everyday
\npractices at the local level that target youth \u201cat risk\u201d with attendant biases
\nthat intersect with other social inequalities. This results in the
\nover-policing of racialized poor and working-class youth in ways that reinforce
\ngender biases in treatment. A related challenge is that much of the responsibility
\nfor youth justice has been downloaded onto the community level and the
\nindividual.  <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Assignment<\/span><\/u><\/p>\n

The objective of the essay is to explore youth
\ncriminalization in the contemporary context through a specific topic in the
\narea of policing, the courts, custody, alternative measures, welfare, the
\nmedia, schooling, or another focus of your choice. Strive for as focused a
\ntopic as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\npeer review sources. A
\nminimum of 10 sources is required.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
